About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo- and Positive-Controlled, Single- and Multiple-Dose, 4-Way Crossover Study to Evaluate the Effects of Domperidone on Cardiac Repolarization in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of single and multiple doses of domperidone on the QTc interval duration in healthy adult volunteers at domperidone doses of 10 mg four times a day (q.i.d.) and 20 mg q.i.d.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized (the study drug is assigned by chance), placebo- and positive-controlled, double-blind (neither physician nor participant knows the treatment that the participant receives), single-dose and multiple-dose, 4-way crossover (method used to switch participants from one treatment arm to another in a clinical trial) study. A placebo control will be used to evaluate the effect of domperidone on QTc intervals in comparison with placebo. QTc is a measure of time in the heart electrical cycle. Placebo is an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test whether the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial. Moxifloxacin, which is known to prolong QTc intervals, will be used as positive control to establish assay sensitivity. The participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatment sequence groups (ADBC, BACD, CBDA, and DCAB) based on a computer-generated randomization schedule and will receive the following 4 treatments in the order specified by the randomization: Treatment A (10 mg domperidone); Treatment B (20 mg domperidone); Treatment C (placebo); Treatment D (moxifloxacin). The study has 3 phases: a screening phase, a double-blind treatment phase (that corresponds to 4 treatment periods), and an assessment period. Each treatment period will last 4 days and will be separated with a washout period (ie, period when receiving no treatment) of 4 to 9 days. The participants will be confined to the clinical testing facility for approximately 5 days in each period. All treatments (A, B, C and D) will be given orally with water. The maximum study duration for a participant will be 74 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Treatment A (domperidone 10 mg), Treatment B (domperidone 20 mg) and Treatment D (moxifloxacin) in people with Healthy, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 1 site in Belgium.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The change from baseline in QTc intervals on Day 1 (time frame: Baseline, 5 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jun 2013.
